Half-life 2 will turn 20 in November so I guess the third one is coming out any day now (opens a new can of copium and grips the favourite spork)

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 26 points 6 months ago

We didn't realize we were in a golden age, did we? /old-man-noises

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I knew we were in a golden age when The Orange Box came out. A red letter day in gaming.

1999 was such an amazing year in my gaming life. Rollercoaster Tycoon, Mechwarrior 3, Battlezone II, and Unreal Tournament. So, so many hours of my life spent in those. That was like, 5 years ago, right?

This made me curious so I looked up my favorite game from childhood that I still play sometimes now... Super Metroid just turned 30 years old 💀

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I'm so nostalgic for that one. Don't think I ever managed to beat it back then though.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I only ever beat it back in the day by using the game guide lol! That was long enough ago that the game guide was an actual paper book I had to find at a store and pay real money for! Well, my mom paid for it anyway lol

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

IW4x is actually still really active if you want to play the original MW2 multiplayer.

I still can't fathom that Pikmin is past the legal drinking age in the United States.

World of Warcraft hits 20 this year. I was there (via private servers), starting in 2006.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 6 months ago

Went into CEX the other week, and saw PS1 games I'd bought when I was already an adult with a job, being sold second hand for more than I'd originally bought them for.

The NES has been considered an antique since 2015 (30 years for an object to be considered an antique).

Linkin Park is old enough to be classic rock.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

100 years is the legal definition of an antique. 20-99 years is vintage.

[-] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

"Classic rock" is a nearly-meaningless term.

The local oldies station summer concert features Vanilla Ice, Tone Loc, Tag Team and some other 90s bands, so now I kind of want to buy a walker and some tennis balls since my childhood is considered oldies.

[-] t_berium@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That made me think of my Sega Game Gear. That was 33 years ago. I recently turned 40 and now I really do feel like an old fart.

[-] sep@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Pitstop 2 that my brother and I played constantly we were kids are 40 years exactly... the pain..

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I love that Fallout is now thought of as a first-person game, but it started as a turn-based isometric team RPG in 1997 which was, itself, a near-remake of a 1988 game, which I spent hours playing as a kid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(video_game)

And then a few years ago, Wasteland was also revived in the style of the first two Fallout games.

Yes, I know I'm old.
